Bosch Rotating Machines. A Legacy of Leadership for More Than a Century

One of the original automotive pioneers, Bosch has been building Rotating Machines  for more than 100 years. Today, Bosch is a world leader in engineering, manufacturing, and providing Rotating Machines (starters and alternators) for automobiles everywhere.

Producing over 1,500 Rotating Machines parts with more on the way, Bosch offers a full-range Rotating Machines program with extensive new and reman (remanufactured) market coverage for domestic, European, Asian, and heavy-duty engines, as well as other specialized applications. Bosch maintains complete remanufacturing operations in North America.

Bosch specialists are dedicated to making sure all Rotating Machines can withstand the harshest environments, putting Bosch starters and alternators through a rigorous Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) to ensure longer life and better performance. They are tested for durability, performance, and extreme temperature conditions.

Bosch also ensures the same high standards of durability and performance in reman Rotating Machines. Reman starters and alternators are full-load tested to meet or exceed OE manufacturers’ amperage, voltage, torque, and RPM specifications, utilizing the latest manufacturing technologies and highest quality parts to ensure the best performance and longest life.

Bosch reman products also provide sustainability. By remanufacturing starters and alternators, Bosch saved around 2,700 tons of different metals* in 2019. This translates into a CO2 equivalent (CO2e) of approximately 7,400 tons that would have been emitted by producing new metal parts from scratch.

But no matter how durable or sustainable a product is, it won’t matter if it doesn’t fit. New manufactured Bosch Rotating Machines are designed to precisely fit a wide range of vehicles, resulting in time saved during installation and more reliable function from the mechanical, electrical, and electronic interfaces.

Finally, Bosch provides best-in-class sales support. All Bosch Starters and Alternators are backed by the Bosch Roadside Protection Program, providing complimentary 24/7 roadside assistance for every purchase (within two years of purchase).

Through unwavering commitment, Bosch has built a legacy of quality and excellence. Bosch has set the standard for Rotating Machines for over a century and will continue to do so for many years to come.
